Many congratulations to our new record holders and to all our swimmers for their personal achievements at Club Championships.

We must also say a big ‘THANK YOU’ to everyone who has helped with the running of our Club competitions; they are a vital part of our swimmers’ preparation for representing BASC in external galas and we could not stage them without you!

Please keep an eye on the “splash screen” on our website for details as to when entries open and please do not wait until the last minute before entering – it makes it much harder to gauge the entry size and therefore work out the heats and timings.
